Morning Discussion
by Chris Faylor, Oct 06, 2008 4:11am PDTAh, Monday. 'Tis a shame it's come to this already, I was just beginning to enjoy the weekend.
After last night's episode of Dexter--what did I ever do with you, Dex?--I finally got around to watching the first few episodes of Californication. I don't know how I've missed it, but between the constant barrage of crude jokes and what seems to be a lighthearted satire of needlessly complicated drama, it feels like the show was made just for me.
I even managed to put to some into Wipeout HD, which, as expected, was pretty, glorious, and somewhat tough. I have a feeling I'll be playing that one for a while.

Another weekend of leveling, bitching, keep raids, lava bullshit, and drama has brought us to today’s post with tons of awesomely spectacular screenshots from yours truly. I’m going to start out with a post from our awesome Gunbad raid the other night (thanks again for coming out guys).
No one would stop for a damn group photo, so this’ll have to suffice (impatient bastards):

Pandemic (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/30549) is fucking awesome. It is a Difficult cooperative game, with excellent pacing, ability to vary difficulty, and good for 2-4 players. Chesh & I have probably played about 10-15 games since we got this last week, just the two of us. Always a good time, even when we lose. It takes some planning to win, even at the 'medium' difficulty. We haven't yet attempted hard.
This game is awesome, and you should try to get a copy. However, this game is also IMPOSSIBLE to find. We tried about 1.5 months ago and I ended up putting myself on a wait list with my local gaming store. They said that their last shipment had been 4 months previous, and only 6 copies. I was called, and told they had received a SINGLE copy and I was first on the list so I got it. The friend who we play with did not get his; he was third on the list.

Ok so my group is playing 4th Edition now and there seems to be confusion on how encounter powers work. Is the rule you can use only 1 encounter power per encounter or is it each encounter power can only be used once?

List at least five goals that you would like your supervisor to consider for your next review period. Include training and other development activities that you believe are relevant to achieving these goals and important to your job performance.
ugh. I do IT for a company with ~100 users. I just have very few ideas when it comes to shit like this. Anyone have 'goals' that they have in mind when they're being reviewed?

Back in "the day," beating a game was a huge accomplishment. The first game I ever beat was Ghostbusters on the Sega Master System. Holy shit the end of that game was tough. But I felt awesome after I beat it.

I just got what I thought was an awesome pic on photoswap - a picture of a piece of paper labelled "scavenger hunt" that had a bunch of items on it. most were crossed off and hard to read, but it was stuff like "non-hairy leg" "baseball hat" "ceiling fan" "dog" etc. I sent back a picture of one of the things on the list, and they send back a picture of the same paper turned over so it said "Thank You!"
Seemed like the items were the stuff you get in almost every single picture, but it was kind of a cool idea.
I was wondering what kind of list the Shack would come up with once we eliminated everything related to boobs & cock. Seemed like fun.
Anyway just wanted to share a cool idea someone apparently had, because it really is a fun program and I really like it any time I see someone using it for anything *other* than pictures of, well, boobs and cock.
